How could a woman in the harem predict the future? If she didn't predict the future, how could she divorce his eldest son in advance? She didn't even want her son?
Is this clearly an attempt to end the Chu family's lineage?
Since she knew that the Duke of Huguo's Mansion was about to be in trouble, why didn't she inform them in advance? Why did she watch her husband and son being beheaded?
What Chu Zhinan could think of, Yang also thought of. Divorce a month in advance? Don't even want the son? How cruel must that woman be to do such a thing?
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. If she can even abandon her own son, then she is indeed not worthy of being a member of the Chu family.
What Chu Yifei was thinking was that he didn't want a woman like that. She could even abandon her own child, so she must not be very sincere to him.
Marry a virtuous woman, don’t bring just anyone into your home.
He decided that no matter how good Su Qinghui was, he would not marry her.
Chu Yimo: "......"
Divorce early? Did he know that their family was about to face disaster? So, he ran away?
[Su Qinghui is not that good, but she has a half-sister named Su Qingran, who is one year younger than her and is completely devoted to her eldest brother.]
Chu Zhinan was puzzled. Devoted? What does it mean to be devoted? Daughter, please tell me, don't keep me in suspense. Dad is worried.
Yang: “…”
A concubine's daughter? Her status was low, and she was not worthy of her son.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of Huguo's mansion could not be a concubine's daughter. But if the daughter agreed, then the impossible would become possible.
When choosing a wife, one should look at her character, whether she is legitimate or not is not important. If it really doesn't work, Madam Su can make the illegitimate daughter a legitimate daughter. As long as the mighty general family wants to get close to their Protector of the Country Mansion, they have to agree to their demands.
Chu Yimo: "......"
Su Qingran? How come he had never heard of her?
He had heard of many of the great ladies in the capital, most of whom were legitimate daughters, and he didn't know any of the illegitimate daughters.
What did she do for the Duke of the Guardian? Why did her sister say that she was devoted to her eldest brother?
Chu Yilin and Chu Yishang saw the solemn expressions on their parents and brothers' faces, and heard their sister's inner voice. They knew that they should not tease her casually, for fear that she would be distracted and not speak her mind.
The two of them sat still, not daring to move at all.
[After the incident at the Huguogong Mansion, she spent all her savings to arrange for the collection and burial of the bodies. Later, the Su family forced her to marry a wealthy businessman in the south as a concubine, but she refused to go and ran to her eldest brother's grave and committed suicide by taking poison.]
Chu Yifei's heart was shaken violently, and he clenched his hands tightly under the table. He had no impression of this Su Qingran at all. Why would someone be willing to accompany him even after he died?
Chu Zhinan was also moved. Such people must be loyal and righteous. But why did they marry Su Qinghui?
Yang's eyes brightened a lot. Since the concubine's daughter of the Su family was so affectionate and loyal, she must find a way to get her here.
Only someone like that is worthy of her son.
Chu Yimo said tentatively: "Mom! I remember that the Su family has a concubine daughter named Su Qingran, who is also very pretty."
Chu Xiaoxiao was so happy that she immediately waved her little fists.
[Ah! Second brother understands me. Yes, yes, yes, if eldest brother wants to marry, he should marry Su Qingran. Only she is worthy of eldest brother.]
Chu Yifei's mind was a little confused. Su Qingran? Why didn't he remember knowing such a person?
"Who is Su Qingran?"
He asked Chu Yimo, but his eyes were on Chu Xiaoxiao. He really wanted to know how his sister would answer.
Chu Yimo was about to speak when Chu Yifei raised his hand to stop him.
He was asking about his younger sister, not his second brother.
[Ah! How could Big Brother forget the little girl he saved outside the South City Gate when he was nine years old? That person was Su Qingran. Her aunt died and was sent outside for burial. That day she wanted to go with her, but her stepmother didn't allow it, so she sneaked out of the city.]
Chu Zhinan: “…”
There is such a paragraph?
Yang: “…”
No wonder the child wanted to collect the bodies of the Chu family and bury them. It turned out that he was repaying a favor.
Chu Yimo looked at Chu Yifei and raised his eyebrows at him.
Chu Yifei frowned, tried hard to recall, and finally remembered it.
It was snowing heavily that day. He came back from the camp outside the city and saw a dirty little girl squatting in the corner outside the south gate, with two tear marks on her crying face.
The little girl was very thin, curled up like a kitten, with snow all over her body and head. He felt so sorry for her, so he carried her into the carriage.
He had no younger sister and really wanted one, but unfortunately his mother only gave him younger brothers.
"Little sister! Where do you live? I'll take you back!"
The little girl said nothing, just looked at him timidly and wiped the tears from her face.
He took out some cakes for her and cleared the snow off her body: "Little sister! What's your name? Where do you live? Where are your parents? Why are you out here alone?"
The little girl still didn't say anything. She took the pastry and ate it in small bites. After she finished, he was afraid that she would choke, so he poured her a cup of hot tea.
She didn't hesitate, picked up the teacup and drank it sip by sip.
"I'm not a bad person. My name is Chu Yifei, and I'm from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. Where do you live? I'll take you back."
The little girl shook her head, then lowered her head and curled up in the corner of the carriage. Seeing that she didn't want to speak, Chu Yifei didn't force her to ask and let her go.
The carriage entered the city and did not speak until it reached the gate of the Duke of the Protectorate's Mansion. The carriage stopped, she got off, bowed to him, then bowed to the Duke of the Protectorate's Mansion, and turned to leave.
He called out to her, "Little sister! Wait a moment! Here are ten taels of silver for you to take and go home safely. If you have any difficulties in the future, come to me. As long as I can help, I will definitely not stand idly by."
The little girl looked at him, her eyes turned red and tears flowed again. She took the silver with trembling hands, bowed to him again, and left.
He still doesn't know who that little girl is or what her name is, but his sister knows. It's really magical.
No wonder she secretly helped the Duke of Huguo's mansion after something happened. Maybe she was grateful for the ten taels of silver he gave her. But why did she die in front of his grave? Was she thinking of him?
If it was that little girl, he would not object to getting married.
[Su Qingran had a miserable life in the Su Mansion. She dared not show up for anything, not even the fact that she was prettier than Su Qinghui. She took medicine all year round, causing her face to be covered with rashes.]
Chu Yifei was shocked. How could this happen? Did that silent little girl have such a hard life?
Yang sighed in her heart that concubines of wealthy families actually had little status. If the mother was kind, she would live a comfortable life, but if the mother was vicious, her life would be miserable.
She had met the mighty general's wife Su several times. She was smooth, shrewd, and used to looking down on people. She was good at dancing with long sleeves, getting along with everyone, and was good at dealing with people.
[She was a very good doctor. Her grandfather was a demoted imperial physician who left many medical books and texts to her.]
Chu Zhinan: “…”
The demoted imperial physician? Could it be Zhang Xingwang's imperial physician? The one who was best at orthopedics?
